SONY stopped PlayStation 2 shipments in Japan after 13 years

After selling over 150 million units worldwide since it went on sale almost 13 years ago, the old PlayStation 2 legacy is now finally making an exit. According to Famitsu, Sony has stopped shipping the console to retailers in Japan.

The PlayStation 2 went on sale in Japan back on March 4, 2000, and was a tremendous success for the company. The popularity of this console ended up killing Sega's Dreamcast console and even Microsoft's original Xbox and Nintendo's GameCube didn't stand much chance against Sony's juggernaut.

PS2 is the most popular game console in the world, it also has one of the biggest library of games for any platform out there.
